Graphic Novel Club: Stepping Stones

Thursday, July 9, 2026 at 4:00

Graphic Novel Club is a space for graphic novel lovers to come together and talk about the books they love (or hate!). Each month, we will all read the same book and meet at the library to talk about it. We'll have discussion questions to keep the conversation going, activities related to the book, and a selection of read-alikes (books recommended for fans of the book we're discussing) available to borrow.

This month, we're reading and discussing Stepping Stones by Lucy Knisley. We will have copies available to borrow in the Children's Room. If you read the book, but decide you don't like it, come to the meeting anyway! We welcome honesty; dissenting opinions make for the most interesting conversations! Register here!

Jen did not want to leave the city. She did not want to move to a farm with her mom and her mom's new boyfriend, Walter. She did not want to leave her friends and her dad.

Most of all, Jen did not want to get new "sisters," Andy and Reese.

As if learning new chores on Peapod Farm wasn't hard enough, having to deal with perfect-at-everything Andy might be the last straw for Jen. Besides cleaning the chicken coop, trying to keep up with the customers at the local farmers' market, and missing her old life, Jen has to deal with her own insecurities about this new family . . . and where she fits in.
